Hunted mule deer with my son last fall. He used a Bergara in 7mm Rem Mag but didn't get a shot. I'd worked up some dandy loads for him to use, 150 grain ELD-X's moving quickly and accurately. Sure wish he'd got a shot.
I had a doe tag and filled it with a 30-30 Henry using a handloaded 160 grain Hornady FTX bullet.
Regards, Guy

No deer camp up north this past season. Hunting out behind the barn in popup blinds. BIL: Remington 870 12 ga with scope and rifled barrel. Hornady SST sabots. Two deer, a 7 pt buck and a winker.
Me: Scoped Encore .260 S&W magnum with Barnes 275 gr monoliths over CFW BLK. Skunked. Missed a head on 90 yard shot at a 6 pt....at least no blood, no hair, no carcass down the escape route.

You guys reminded me that I had not published my latest post on the weblog. It is on exactly this topic. What Deer Rifles this Year, Shaman?Bottom line: 25-06 7mm-08 35 Whelen . . . and the Savage 99 in 308 Mooselette will probably be sporting her Savage 340 in 30-30, but I'll write about that later.

I’ve got to figure that out, have a new to me Kimber BGR in 280. I’ll use it some for sure. I have a new to me 99 in 375 Win to try out too. I’m gonna check the pair of 264 Sakos, use them some also

when i was young, we'd go to camp to hunt deer and fish for trout. over the years, we quit going. we didn't have rifles like we do now.
there would be 6 or 7 Remington m760 in '06, 4 or 5 Winchester m94 in 30-30 and 32 Winchester Special, one or two Savage m99 in 300 Savage, a post 64 Winchester m70 in 270 Winchester, a Remington m788 in 243 Winchester, a Springfield Armory in 30-40 Krag, a small amount '98 Mauser in 8x57, a 6.5 Carcano and a Swedish 96 Mauser in 6.5x55.
time goes by, people die, new housing developments, hunters quit.....the list goes on.

This year, for me, it's my factory laminate stocked T/C Hawken .50 percussion in the early muzzleloader antlerless/ bear season. Buck and bear will be my Remington 760 in .35 Remington. The after Christmas flintlock season is my .50 flintlock Renegade.
Keepin my back green and my powder dry. The LORD bless and keep you
